I’ve never seen that poster close up enough to realize it’s an ice fishing image. An absolute beauty! Go get it EMinzer!

Ha! I had this print at one point and never noticed that either!

We need to get close to our posters. When you really go over one like I did this, with those classic ink separations coming into the light,
you get to see how some of our favorite artists worked in "Easter Eggs." This particular poster is a great example of some comic relief. When you think about how many posters were drawn and ink separations were worked on for all of the 2003 tour, this particular poster makes me smile. The eyes of the viewer naturally go to the center of the print, then the right ear then the small window and back out looking at it as it is "framed" already in the design of the poster. No one looks down from the window...until it is directly in your field of vision.
I only noticed when I was photographing this print and getting 12" away from it maximum. It was at that time that I saw what I have not for 22+ years. Jpegs do not do posters/art prints justice. This was a pleasant wake-up.

The poster is some beautiful print in this condition. The colors are vibrant and the subject matter illustrated is pretty hysterical.
The comments have mentioned not knowing that this poster has an ice fishing theme since never once did someone see the poster up close.
The AMES BROS posters of 2003 were pretty special like that, where they were more complex in theme and color separations, and having one for each show or town was really awesome. I had almost every 2003 poster at one time .

I have listed it then pulled it many times because it is so unique. It just does need to find a home and this could be the time it sells before I get a chance to keep it. Somewhere where it will be properly framed/displayed will make me comfortable letting this go. 

Too many problems with USPS shipping tubes at this time. They are not moving them fast or efficiently. FedEx is the way at this time. It is more of an inconvenience to use them, but they deliver on time and within a small window. It costs more but the price forces a two-day delivery and $100 built in insurance with further insurance about $2 per $100 in value. And the poster gets delivered.

Very excited to have this in my collection. I have been looking for a while!

I like it! If I had a cabin by a lake, it would be framed above the fireplace next to my mounted trout!
